What it does
AudioPen is an AI voice-to-text app from solo founder Louis Pereira (Nicheless Inc.). You record a rambling voice note, pick a writing style, and it transcribes what you said and rewrites it as a clean draft. It does not add ideas of its own. It runs on the web, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Chrome, and can also voice-type into other apps.
